Chris Kay 2f1c5e7eb1 build: use GCC to link by default
When configuring GNU GCC as the C compiler, we usually use the GNU BFD
linker directly to link by default. However, this complicates things
because we also need to support LTO, which can only be done when linking
is done via the C compiler, and we cannot change the linker later on if
some other part of the build system wants to enable LTO.

This change migrates the default choice of linker to GCC if the C
compiler is GCC, in order to enable this use-case. This should have no
impact on anything outside of the build system, as by default GCC merely
acts as a wrapper around BFD.

Trusted Firmware-A
==================

Trusted Firmware-A (TF-A) is a reference implementation of secure world software
for `Arm A-Profile architectures`_ (Armv8-A and Armv7-A), including an Exception
Level 3 (EL3) `Secure Monitor`_. It provides a suitable starting point for
productization of secure world boot and runtime firmware, in either the AArch32
or AArch64 execution states.

TF-A implements Arm interface standards, including:

-  `Power State Coordination Interface (PSCI)`_
-  `Trusted Board Boot Requirements CLIENT (TBBR-CLIENT)`_
-  `SMC Calling Convention`_
-  `System Control and Management Interface (SCMI)`_
-  `Software Delegated Exception Interface (SDEI)`_

The code is designed to be portable and reusable across hardware platforms and
software models that are based on the Armv8-A and Armv7-A architectures.

In collaboration with interested parties, we will continue to enhance TF-A
with reference implementations of Arm standards to benefit developers working
with Armv7-A and Armv8-A TrustZone technology.

Users are encouraged to do their own security validation, including penetration
testing, on any secure world code derived from TF-A.
